In the first year of entering the palace, she was just a Lady of Talents.
In the fifth year of entering the palace, she became a Handsome Fairness.
In the tenth year of entering the palace, she aspired to become the Empress, since it was the only way she could hold onto everything dear to her, never to be taken away.
 She could protect herself, her children, and most importantly, be with him.
This was a path with no retreat; stepping back would be an irreversible calamity.
The bright yellow silk umbrella advanced, and the Emperor's procession slowly entered the city gate. The yellow silk umbrella, the sun-and-moon fan, the purple banner... At that moment, the sunlight dazzled the eyes. Empress Xie's phoenix carriage moved forward along the imperial road, meeting him halfway.

Empress Xie

Upon hearing the news, Xie Ning was surprised and asked, "Why?"


The emperor smiled, "Actually, I've had this idea ever since you first told me about your past. You see, the furthest anyone around me has ever been limited. To the south is just the Donghe River, and to the north, it should be Changguan. As for the west, we haven't even been to where the Yuan Hu people live, let alone beyond them."


She felt sorry for the emperor. Even though he owned the world, he had only seen a small part of it. When he was still a prince, he could go outside and explore, but after becoming the emperor, he became even less free.


"But isn't this against the rules?" Xie Ning had memorized these regulations, "Youngest uncle doesn't have an official position, so technically, he lacks the qualification to meet the emperor."


The emperor looked at her with a smile.
